POLICE have confirmed a man has been arrested in connection with the murder of Glasgow woman Angela Humphreys.

The 48-year-olds body was discovered by relatives on Wednesday 26 February at her flat in the Barmulloch area of the city.

Detectives said Angela suffered a violent death before her killer fled, locking the front door behind him.
